ALPHA GAL & THE LONE STAR TICK

Obviously, our algorithms vary according to our interests, and lately my phone has been dosing me with Alpha Gal syndrome…
 
What is that you say? Apparently, it is an anaphylactic response to meat or dairy following a bite from the Lone Star tick.. a serious thing because you end up becoming allergic to meat and dairy… don’t worry, though, the plant-based diet will come to the rescue. How timely with the advice to come off meat and dairy…?!
 
A CNN report from Martha's Vineyard zoomed in on the effect it was having on the local farms and restaurants
 
Now that would put the kibosh on the Irish agricultural industry, don’t you think?
 
Needless to say, I had to investigate a bit more from a terrain-theory perspective.
 
The germ theory narrative is lone star tick bites you and you react with an anaphylactic response. Tick bad. Poor you.
 
Who discovered this connection? Looks like it is a chap called Thomas Platts- Mills
 
Of course, when you start looking into the narrative more, you find stories of boxes of ticks found on farms in the US. A sinister motive, perhaps? Could there be a bio-weapon element to this? It has a precedent with the military during the Cold War. Is it safe to say it is a possibility? Anything is possible. A certain William Gates gets mentioned in association with this theory, of course.
 
When I zoom out a bit, I wonder about the history, though. Alpha Gal is not new. Tick bites are not new. But certain things have changed in recent years. Our immune systems have been challenged with the dose of extra “supports” we have been encouraged to have for our health. Perhaps our immune systems have been ultra primed and the tick is the last straw? I thought the following diagram from 2020 was interesting.  A lot of immune-challenging medications have happened since then…

​Watch out for this latest dramatic food development. I have no doubt it will be used to further an agenda. Don’t panic, though; they are developing a vaccine for it…
